Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 17^th September 2024.  As usual, we will start playing shorter games from 7.30pm as people arrive, until 8pm when we will start something a little longer.  The pub is doing food, and the table is booked from 6.30pm for those that would like to eat first.

This week, the “Feature Game” will be Stamp Swap (rules, review, how to play video), which is a game where players take on the role of stamp collectors at a convention collecting, trading and then scoring their stamp album.  It is a fairly light game that features the “I cut, You Choose” mechanism used in games like Isle of Skye and …aber bitte mit Sahne.

And speaking of stamps…

Jeff was visiting his crazy Uncle Josiah at his cabin in the woods of Montana. After After dinner Jeff noticed eggshells stuck to his plate, which had a peculiar dull shine.

“Are these plates clean?” asked Jeff.

“We ain’t got no fancy plumbing out here and them plates is as clean as Cold Water can get’ em,” replied Jeff’s Uncle.

The following morning, Jeff woke up rested and hungry (as usual). Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he asked, “What’s for breakfast Uncle Joe?”

“Oh, I thought we’d go to town for breakfast,” answered the old man. “I need to go to the post office. Cold Water’s coming too.”

Jeff was confused, “I don’t understand, Uncle, we’re taking water to town? Don’t they have water there?”

Uncle Josiah laughed. “No, no, Cold Water’s my dog, he likes to lick the postage stamps when I send a letter…”
